SHUT DOWN CREECH! March 4-6 2015

Mass Mobilization to Stop Drone Wars!

A Convergence For Peace in the Nevada Desert

Join us March 4-6, 2015 at Creech Air Force Base, Indian Springs, Nevada,
for a national mobilization of nonviolent resistance to shut down
killer drone operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan,Yemen, Somalia, and
everywhere.

Sponsored by CODEPINK: Women for Peace, Nevada Desert
Experience , Veterans For Peace, Women’s International League for Peace
and Freedom, and Voices for Creative Nonviolence.

CODEPINK will also
hold vigils daily on March 2nd and 3rd, prior to the official beginning
of this Creech Convergence For Peace, and welcomes everyone to join
them.

In 2005, Creech Air Force Base secretly became the first U.S. base in
the country to carry out illegal, remotely controlled assassinations
using the MQ-1 Predator drones, and in 2006, the more advanced Reaper
drones were added to its arsenal.

Creech drone personnel sit behind
computers in the desert north of Las Vegas and kill "suspects" thousands
of miles away. Recent independent research indicates that the identity
of only one out of 28 victims of U.S. drone strikes is known
beforehand.

Though officials deny it, the majority of those killed by
drones are civilians. In 2014, it was leaked that the CIA's criminal
drone assassination program, officially a separate operation from the
Air Force's, has been piloted all along by Creech's super-secret
Squadron 17.

Since 2009 dozens of activists have been arrested for allegedly
trespassing at Creech, in attempts to stop the indiscriminate killing
and burning of innocent people by drones.

At the trial of the "Creech
14," the first Americans prosecuted for trespass at a drone base, former
U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark testified that "to have a baby burn
to death because of a 'no trespass' sign would be poor public policy,
to put it mildly."

In a time of burning children, the "no trespass"
signs attached to the fences that protect the crimes perpetrated with
drones are not legitimate, and they do not command our obedience. After
all, it is the U.S. military that is guilty of lethal trespassing.

The US drone program is rapidly proliferating as air bases are being
converted to drone bases across the U.S. and abroad, but Creech remains
the primary air base in U.S. state-sponsored global terrorism. Creech is
where the killer drone program started--it is where we shall end it.

We must put an end to this desecration of our Mother Earth and all creatures who inhabit it.

We must put an end to the dehumanization of lives from Ferguson to Palestine to Pakistan.

We must close all foreign U.S. military bases. Money for human needs.

We must put an end to drone warfare, drone surveillance, and global militarization.

Blog in friendship with the Nevada Desert Experience and other peace groups

We have been documenting articles, news, facts, links about nuclear warfare, drone/predator warfare ("robot warfare" or UAV), and the peace movement opposing these inhumane and immoral things and issues.

We stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers everywhere who oppose warfare and weapons against humanity. We promote peace, nonviolence.

Nevada Desert Experience is a nonprofit organization in Las Vegas, Nevada, which has as mission:

• to stop testing, development and use of nuclear and other weapons systems through a campaign of prayer, education, dialogue, and nonviolent direct action.

• to mobilize people of all faiths to work towardnuclear abolition and nonviolent social change.

• to support personal renewal through desert spirituality, reconnecting with each other and the earth to end subcritical tests and other war-making preparations at the Nevada National Security Site and preventing the return of full-scale nuclear testing.
